INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND WARRANTY FOR REEFE™ POND PUMPS
Thank you for purchasing this quality REEFE™ Pond Pump.
Please read and follow these instructions to gain the best performance and life-span out of your pump.
APPLICATION
1. REEFE™ Pond Pumps have been manufactured with advanced technology to provide the user with a quality
pump for aquariums, fountains, ponds, waterfalls, pond filters and hydroponics, either completely submerged or
inline. The pump can be used in non-chemically polluted water at a temperature between 5
º
C and 35
º
C. Use with
other liquids is strictly prohibited and voids all warranty. Performances are measured without filter or fittings.
2. REEFE™ Pond Pumps are not self-priming, therefore the pump cannot pump water up from a lower level when
used in-line, it must have “flooded suction” – that is, the pump inlet must always be BELOW the top level of the
water.
3. REEFE™ Pond Pumps have a single moving part; the impeller, enabling easy cleaning and maintenance.
4. The Motor unit and electronics are encapsulated in epoxy, ensuring safe operation with the motor never
requiring lubrication.
5. The following models can be used with Salt Water in aquariums: RP260 to RP4000, RP550LV to RP4000LV and
RFK1100 to RFK8500.
6. DO NOT use the following models in Salt Water as the impellor will disintegrate, causing the pump to fail and
also may cause harm to Marine life: RP6000 to RP28000 Filter & Waterfall Pumps.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed including the following.
1. The pump should be used with water only. Do not use the pump to pump petroleum products or any other
liquids.
2. Do not use the pump without water at any time as permanent damage will occur.
